about this room

A full-day working session for founders in the messy middle: too big to run on gut feel and a spreadsheet, not yet set up to grow without breaking. You work on your own business and numbers all day: commercial frameworks from big consumer brands cut down for founders, the metrics that matter, what investors check before they back you, commercial finance versus accounting, supply chain for scale, and where AI can find margin now.

Lucy Henderson and Rachel Steven, co-founders of Fractional Folk, run it. Between them: 40-plus years at Heineken, Diageo, AG Barr, C&C Group and P&G. Lucy chairs Investing Women Angels. 09:30 to 16:30.

Free, part of the Royal Bank Accelerator's She Scales programme on Princes Street. Register on Eventbrite.

why go

a full day of hands-on time with two operators who've run big brands and now back founders. Best for founders with revenue who are starting to feel scaling pain.
